The City installs audible pedestrian signals for visually impaired pedestrians at all new and rebuilt traffic signals where a marked crosswalk is present.  Requests for audible signals at existing traffic signals may be forwarded directly to the traffic division for consideration.

The specialized tones at audible pedestrian signals are activated by pushing and holding the pedestrian button for a few seconds. In addition to the cuckoo tone for north/south crossings and the chirping tone for east/west crossings, the push buttons are equipped with locator tones to help visually impaired pedestrians locate the push buttons. The accessible pedestrian buttons also include a raised arrow that points towards the direction of travel and vibrates when the audible signal is activated.
